On-X boy here. 3 years and 5 months and still ticking not loudly. I keep Inr at 2.1, Use a total of 8 mg a week,along with asa. Don’t regret my decision. I measure every 2 weeks with my lab . Not a problem. Glad I don’t have to do it again. Tony

My diameter has not changed since surgery. If I stated I did it was mistaken. Intra-operative measurement was 4.3. Still there. The ARB agent is supposed to inhibit enzyme that breaks down collagen/connective tissue. Anyways YMMV.

Forgot to add serial echos have not shown enlargement since surgery.

My Aorta got to 4.3 cm by the time I had surgery and it was not replaced. That was 3.5 years ago. 4.5 was the number they were going to go by to replace the Aorta. Since that time I did some reading about Marfan’s syndrome, people who have a connective tissue disorder who frequently die of...

Best attempt so far at Heart Nebula, Only capture right and left atrium and AV node (LOL). Will need to try a mosaic on multiple nights. Or will try with different scope. Reflection nebulas are hard for me to photograph.

Decided above exposure destroyed some depth to shot. Here is a shot with less than 3 hours of data in it. I like it better. Rosette Nebula.

Just processed a shot of Rosette 🏵️ nebula with a combined over 10 hours of stacked exposures over multiple nights. Amazingly processed on iPad with native IOS software.

For Solar Filters I highly recommend Baader Planetarium solar film for the aperture of your scope. Guiding is recommended to get sharp shots. You want to use short exposures with moon, planets, and sun. Longer exposures with DSO. I would say equatorial mount is the best for astrophotography...

My first attempt at 2xmag of 50mm lens doing a stacked video file. Then did some minor pp. Not a dedicated solar scope but pretty happy happy with there zoom upgrade. I find looking at a ball of 70%Hydrogen and 30%helium fascinating how it is there.

Wow that is a great view of the arm of Milky Way. Pretty great Astro work mixing with topside. I want to start doing that . Mount it on top of the OTA for guiding. Don’t have to do too long with dslr.

My post did not include these shots of the tarpon this my reference to scales

More Key West photos. The tarpon are as big as humans. . They are a challenge to photograph under water with their reflective scales. The Seestar had a couple of firmware updates and added a 2 to 4x zoom. 4x not really usable since it’s all digital.

Been at/near Key West got some decent Astro photos. bode’s and cigar galaxy; Re-framed flame 🔥 and horse 🐴 nebula

Monkey Head nebula shot for 21/2 hours

I was into visual astronomy about 25 years ago. I have taken shots underwater, topside, and now going to the heavens. That shot was taken with a Seestar telescope. It is quite the cheat it has built in gps, Wi-Fi, Hydrogen/Oxygen filter, triplet 50mm lens design. It is on an Alt/Az mount...

Whirlpool Galaxy . It would take traveling at at 187,000 miles/sec for 31 million light years to get there. I doubt galaxy is even there. Taking that amount of time for a photon of light to get here. Shot was only 112 minutes of stacked photos.

My next target will be heart nebula

Taking up new hobbie . Using a different camera.
